Appreciation goes out to everyone who contributed to the 6.0.0 release ! Since I have only tested 6.0 via the Showcase applications (it worked well for both), I will abstain my vote for now: +0.
One item to mention: I noticed that the 6.0.0 standalone artifacts seem to have md5 and sha1 hashfiles generated (instead of sha256, sha512). It looks like that was the case for 2.5.30 as well, but 2.5.29 has sha256 and sha512 hashfiles, so something may have changed in the build packaging flow since then. Regards, James.
